A1 Heritage Breed Farms is located in west central Ohio, close to Indiana, not far from I-75. Like us on Facebook (HeritageBreedFarms) and keep up with us via our website. We started our farm for several key reasons. First and foremost we wanted to be sustainable. We feel that God has entrusted us as stewards of his creation. Being sustainable keeps our land and animals in the best possible health and returns the land in better shape than when we received it. Secondly, we wanted to raise the best tasting food because food should never have additives if its authentically good! Third, we wanted our children to grow up on a farm—who wouldn’t? Lastly, and most importantly, we wanted food that was good for you. Raising a young and growing family, eating healthy food was a no brainer which is why we grow everything using organic practices. All of these decisions lead us to raising the heritage breeds of: Dexter cattle, Large Black and Red Wattle hogs, Buckeye chickens, Olberhasi goats, Katahdin sheep, Bronze breasted turkeys, and several other mixed breeds of animals, most of which follow the heritage breed lines. We currently have pastured freezer pork available. There is lots of bacon on our hogs—32 pounds on average! No wonder they call large blacks “bacon hogs.” These are our personal favorites, they taste EXCELLENT. In our opinion, there is no comparison in taste and flavor! Our Red Wattles are also featured pork on Slow Food USA's Ark of Taste. Grass Fed Dexter beef is the fastest selling item on our farm. Dexters have excellent marbling for grass fed animals and have about a 20% larger rib eye for its size (my favorite cut! ) They are extremely docile and small. If you are used to ordering a half, then you want a whole; if you are used to a quarter, you want half a Dexter. This allows you to get all the premium cuts of meat without breaking the bank! Pastured poultry. Please order ahead because we get our chicks in late winter/early spring. We can raise as many meat birds as our customers want, but we have to receive the orders early to get our preparations done ahead of summer. We also have pastured eggs layed by our favorite bird, the Buckeyes! What a great bird, raised in the same great state as its namesake! Delivery available Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, Indianapolis and closer. As always thank you for your business and remember to eat local and eat fresh! God Bless. A1 Heritage Breed Farms, Brent and Beth Schulze, Russia, OH 45363. (937) 418-3790. Arcadian Acres is a nearly 200-year-old family farm located in Athens County in SE Ohio. We are working on fully restoring the farm and saving critically endangered heritage breeds of cattle, chickens, pigs, turkey and eventually goats and sheep through eco-friendly, sustainable, non-certified organic, grass fed, and pastured methods. Endangered cows, chickens, pigs, etc. are in shockingly high numbers! Visit the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy to find out more. We have decided to not become "certified" organic, but adhere rigorously to OEFFA and USDA standards and believe that the standards we set for ourselves exceed certification requirements. We feel that knowing where your food comes from, who raises it and how, provides better peace of mind than a "certified" sticker. Let us know what you think! Randall Cattle Rose Veal. A truly rare and wonderful treat, orders fill up fast. Raised on pasture with their mothers till weaning time (about 10 months), this is NOT the poorly kept, white veal people are used to. These animals live happy, socialized lives, and enjoy a well-rounded diet of milk AND grass. The iron from the grass turns the meat a rosy color, hence the name. Randall Rose Veal is in a category of its own–a must-try for any foodie or culinary connoisseur. Heifers and bull calves are occasionally available. Heritage Eggs & Chicken. Mixed sampler eggs are $5/dozen when in stock. Whole chickens are available for $5/pound; this includes the neck, lungs, heart, and liver.

Slow growing, old fashioned British breeds make some of the juiciest, most flavorful grass fed beef around. Meat rich with beefy flavor and fine, juicy texture – all on a grass only diet – special enough to be included on the Slow Foods Ark of Taste! Our herd of rare American Milking Devons are about as close to their British roots as can be. We began our work raising cattle as a direct response to animal welfare, food quality and environmental issues. We follow non-certified organic methods and the cattle eat only grass and hay grown here at home. Our cows live a happy, natural life of grazing with their buddies, with plenty of spring water & free choice shelter from cold, rain & blazing sun. In beef cattle, there is a documented relationship between high butterfat content in the milk and superior marbling in the beef. And, a scientific reason the flavor and texture of the meat from smaller breeds given longer to mature is so much finer. We have taken great pains to resist the temptation to breed for increased size and beef yield thereby preserving the rich milk that made these cows such a treasure in their native Devonshire, England. You’ve heard of Devonshire cream, haven’t you? Well these girls invented it… We are located just about an hour north of Pittsburgh, and ten minutes from Boardman, Ohio. We have limited amount of beef available each summer and are excited to share it with you. Don't miss out; when it’s gone, it’s gone until next year! Auburn Meadow Farm, Jackie Cleary, 164 Bedford Road, West Middlesex PA 16159. (412) 600-5826. Autumn Harvest Farm, owned and operated by Marcus and Beth Ladrach and family, has grown as a family farm since 1946. We raise All Natural grass-fed beef, vegetables, and hay. All 230 acres of the farm have been certified organic by the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) since 1996. All crops and pastures are certified organic. Located in the rich agricultural landscape of Wayne County, Ohio, Autumn Harvest Farm is only 30 minutes from Medina, 45 minutes from Akron or Canton, less than an hour from Cleveland, and an hour and a half from Columbus. Autumn Harvest Farm specializes in raising All Natural Angus cross-bred beef cattle on certified organic pastures with no grain or hormones. A rotational grazing program regularly moves the cattle through paddocks containing grass mixed with clover and alfalfa so that the animals have a nutritionally rich blend of pasture crops to eat. We take pride in raising beef calves up to full market weight on a 100% grass-fed diet, an effort that is reflected in the excellent quality and taste of the beef. Grass-fed beef has rightfully gained a reputation for having higher nutritional value, less fat, and fewer calories that grain-fed beef, and we have found that their rotational grazing pattern contributes to the health of the cattle as well as to the health of the farm. Farmers Markets: We attend the Downtown Wooster Farmers Market, June through October, Saturdays 8am- 12:00pm. Grocery Stores: We sell our products at Local Roots Market, 140 S Walnut Street in downtown Wooster, OH. Autumn Harvest Farm, Marcus and Beth Ladrach, 5109 Rice Hill Road, Wooster OH 44691.

Our beef is from our herd of purebred American Lowline
Angus. These cattle are the definition of a heritage breed as they are
from a herd whose traits have not been altered by selective breeding
since the 1940s. Cattle prior to the 1940's were well adapted to marbling
when raised in pastures or on range without the use of grain. Thus our
genetic line provides great tasting, tender well-marbled beef that alters
many of our customer's perceptions of what grass fed beef can be. They
are also smaller, more docile and easygoing than many of today's breeds
and hybrids, which makes them ideal for working with closely on a daily
basis. It also leads to a smaller split-quarter than with hybrids which
can reduce the total cost to purchase from us Beech Meadow Farm, Michael Koob, 7750
High Point Road, Thornville OH 43076. (614) 289-8908. Berger's Green Vista Farm is owned and operated
by the Berger family with the health and comfort of the animals as
a top priority. We are a 100% grassfed-to-finish, all-natural beef farm. Located in the rolling countryside of northeast Ohio, Green Vista offers a local source of gourmet grassfed beef, antibiotic- and GMO-free pork, and pastured poultry (chickens). We are a short drive from Medina, Akron, and Cleveland and just over an hour from Columbus. We attend the Medina Farmers Market, May through October, Saturdays from 9 AM to 1 PM. We find no reason to use artificial fertilizers,
hormones, antibiotics, insecticides or herbicides. We pasture all the
animals as much as possible year around. Our cattle are rotated through
the pastures on a regular basis to the benefit of both plants and animals.
When extreme conditions of cold or mud require us to temporarily bring
the cattle onto a straw pack, they receive dry stored forages. Berger's Green Vista Farm, Jonathan Berger, 8200

Since 1996, “We feed people” or help them feed themselves with 100% grass fed, organic (non-certified) Texas Longhorn beef cattle. Callan Cattle Co. markets America’s healthiest breed of cattle, live, or in see-thru frozen vac-packs. CCC doesn’t use extra hormones, or antibiotics. Longhorns rarely get sick due to their healthy “natural genetic outlook” on life. Texas Longhorn cattle multiplied in the Southwest without Man’s help or interference from the 1400s to the 1890s. They were the first bovines on the American Continent, brought over by the Spanish. When they got loose from being stolen or Indian raids chasing them away, their survivability in the wild was Nature Bred into their DNA with 400 years of natural selection. Callan Cattle Co. Texas Longhorns eat grass, browse or locally baled hay from chemical-free fields. CCC uses efficient grass and browse eating cattle. Texas Longhorns turn 6 pounds of grass into a pound of muscle gain without the excess back fat, needing to be trimmed off, common to “other” cattle. The proof is seeing the carcass on a hook in the cooler. If others (upon request) can’t show you a comparison picture to Longhorn of their beef hanging in the cooler, they can tell you anything and not have to answer for it. And yes, Longhorn beef is tender. We don’t “run’em on the Trail” anymore. We’ve had compliments on our beeves for 15 years. Give us a call. We’re five miles north of Newark, OH on State Route 657 (Marion Rd), between Johnstown, Granville and Utica, OH and 35 to 45 minutes from Columbus, OH.

You Are What You Eat, Eats. Canal Junction Natural Meats & Farmstead Cheese is a grass based farming operation where we believe in raising our animals for food the way that God intended them to be raised. We have a dairy herd along with beef, pork, lamb, broilers, turkeys and layers. We direct market all of the products that we produce on the farm. We recently started to make Raw Milk cheese from our own milk. The dairy, beef, and lambs are 100% grassfed. They do not receive any grain. The pork, broilers, turkeys and layers all are raised on pasture and are given supplemental feed. The broilers and turkeys are moved every 24 hours to another section of pasture. The layers are free ranged within the paddocks that we have the cattle in. We have very heavy clay soil that at one time was a swamp (The Great Black Swamp). It has been drained off since the second half of the 19th century. What was left behind was a soil that is extremely high in naturally occurring minerals. Through proper utilization of grass farming we capitalize on the available nutrients for grazing animals, which in return makes the final product more nutrient dense. It has been said that food grown on heavy clay soil is some of the best tasting in the world. Find out for yourself today. Order some cheese or stop by the farm and buy some meat to try for yourself. We sell the raw milk cheese and meat off the farm. The meat is in nice sized small packages and the cheese is in approximately 3/4 lb packages. Bigger blocks of cheese are available, just ask. The cheese we will ship, the meat must be bought through the farm store. We do have a wholesale price for the cheese for any retailers or restaurant owners. Cheeses available: Cheddar, Colby, Jack, Garlic & Herb, Jack & Dill, Pepper Jack, Italian Herb, Black Swamp Gouda, Miami Erie Canal Swiss and Wabash Erie Canal Gruyere.

Our small family farm consists of 252 acres with plenty of pasture and stockpiled forage for 75 head of dairy animals.

Compared to other beef, (on average) the beef of the Belted Galloway is 46% lower in calories, 72% lower in fat calories, 68% lower in total fat, 69% lower in saturated fat, 57% lower in cholesterol, 19% higher in protein, 67% higher in calcium, and 73% higher in niacin (see http://beltie.org/statistics-on-beltie-beef.php). We allow our cows to naturally wean their calves, do not use hormones and only use antibiotics if needed to save the life of the cow. We also sell registered breeding stock. Most years we raise a few feeder pigs (pork) (purchased from a friend's son who raises them to help pay for college). The pigs live outdoors with shelters in the pasture and are free to root and play at all times. They receive some kitchen scraps but are mostly fed a soy-free feed along with the grass they eat. We raise layer chickens who get to roam throughout the pastures and woods most of the day. They are locked up at night for their protection from predators. Depending on the size of the flock, we may have eggs for sale. We supplement the chickens' diet with soy-free feed. We feel privileged to be able to live in the country and to provide such wholesome, nutritious food to our family, friends and neighbors, the way it used to be—Down Home.

Eldridge Farms is a fourth-generation farm located in Mount Orab, OH. This was once a large productive dairy farm that sold out in the early nineties. The ground has laid vacant for twenty-two years. Last year we made the decision to start farming again in order to increase our quality of life and to provide high quality food to those in our area who are looking for something different that the industrial model. With this decision came certain farming practices that have helped to improve our pasture and our animals' welfare. These practices are often referred to as Regenerative Agriculture or Sustainable AG.
Broilers: Our broilers are in chicken tractors to protect them from predators and moved daily to prevent parasites and improve pasture quality. When people eat our chicken they constantly remark on how tender they are and how clean they taste. The average broiler finishes out at around 5–6 lbs. We sell them as whole birds at $3.50/lb. and parted 8-piece birds at $4.50/lb. Layers & Turkeys: Our pastured layers roam freely in the pasture. Most of their diet consists of bugs and grass. They are moved every several days in their mobile hen house to ensure health and pasture maintenance. Our brown eggs have yolks with a rich golden color and hard outer shells, unlike the fragile shells you find in the store. They are perfect for baking and overall consumption.

The Flying J Farm was started five years ago with the goal and motto: Restoring the land, the buildings, and the people. Our plan and hope was to restore health to ourselves and others through growing our own food, and better nutrition and lifestyle. We have been certified organic by OCIA and OEFFA for three years. We raise grassfed, chemical-free Hereford cattle and try to have freezer beef in all cuts available year-round. The cows graze rotationally to maximize the pasture and their time on greens. We also raise organic food-grade corn, soybeans, and hard (make bread flour) and soft winter wheat. We raise hay for the cows, but feed them only what we need to get them through the winter. We also grow a large organic vegetable garden with help from interns and volunteers (always looking for more) and have a farm market as well as a CSA. Products from the garden are available during the growing season. We also make maple syrup and have it available year-round. We do four major events each year to encourage urban folks to visit the farm and see how food is raised. These include a Maple Sugar Festival in February, a Mushroom Hunt in April, a farm tour and taste of local food in July, and a Fall Harvest Festival in October. We have some five miles of trails for horseback riding, hiking or cross-country skiing through woods and around lakes, ponds, and streams. We will soon have a B&B and we do small conferences, retreats, and concerts. We are always open to visitors if they call ahead. The Flying J Farm, Richard S. Jensen, 5329 Van Fossen

Our goal is to bring you the healthiest and tastiest grass-fed lamb available. Our lambs are born in springtime onto lush, green pasture and remain on pasture throughout their growth. Our pastures are pesticide- and herbicide-free, and have been planted and managed to provide an ideal diet for grass-fed animals. The lambs are moved to fresh pasture every few days, and are never given even the smallest amount of grain. Needless to say, they are never given growth hormones or antibiotics. In early November, our lambs are taken a short distance to an Ohio state-inspected butcher, where we work closely with our butcher to make sure that our lambs are processed according to our specifications. Throughout all of this, our animals are handled as gently and humanely as possible. In 2004, our farm enrolled in a conservation program overseen by the Lorain County Soil & Water Conservation District, and in 2010 we were awarded the Conservationist of the Year Award. This conservation program promotes sustainable farming practices that contribute to the health of our local rivers, lakes, and water supply. If you would like an email attachment with all of our pricing and ordering information, send us an email and let us know. We do the hard work for you: We walk you through the choices of cuts, transport your lamb to the butcher, communicate your cutting instructions to the butcher, and pay the butcher.

We started farming at this location the spring of 2013. Our desire is to teach our children to farm responsibly and provide you with nutritious fresh food. The center piece of our operation is our OEFFA organic-certified dairy herd. Herd shares are available after an interview and farm tour. We have other enterprises that revolve around the dairy such as grass-based broilers in the summer time and fresh eggs from laying hens that follow the cows. Grass-finished beef is also coming available here on the farm in the near future. Our dairy herd is a mix of breeds. We have been using A2A2 breeding, so the herd is producing a lot of A2A2 milk now, but not 100%. The dairy herd is grass based, with at least 97% of their ration coming from the pastures. At times we balance the cows’ energy needs with a small amount of grain (no soy products) and molasses (under five pounds). We do this to maintain the cows’ energy needs, so as not to sacrifice their health when the grass is not supplying enough energy. We strive to grow as nutrient dense foods as possible for your family. Please contact us if we can help fill your family’s food needs.
